Production collective ACNE has added director Kim Jacobs to its roster. She was previously repped by Green Dot Films.
A native of Southern California, Jacob began her immersion in film at the early age of 17, assisting the media director of an international cosmetic company on global fashion shoots. She completed Art Center’s Film Program before taking off to live and work in Europe and New York, before coming full circle back to Los Angeles. Along the way, she honed her skills and built a strong reel as part of the duo jacobsbriere, teaming with Alan Briere. They worked with agencies such as TBWA, Amalgamated, Publicis, McCann, Saatchi & Saatchi, Leo Burnett, Y&R, and Ogilvy, directing projects for top brands including Visa, Hyundai, ESPN, Nissan, General Mills, and JCPenney. This work was recognized by The One Show, Clios, a Cannes Silver Lion, Telly and a PromaxBDA Gold Award. In 2012, she began directing solo, continuing to progress as a filmmaker.
Jacobs also constantly explores endeavors in creative arenas outside of directing. Last fall, she curated the group art show “Lost in Space” at the Design Matters Gallery, and launched Rusticoffee, a high-end mobile coffee business. She strives to continue collaborating with global brands to create awareness for big ideas that have the power to ultimately help mankind. Currently, Jacobs is working on an exciting project with “I Am That Girl,” a media platform and community created to empower young girls by starting a conversation that emphasizes similarities amongst women and provides a space for them to support each other.
Jacobs is currently in pre-production of an ACNE STORY.
ACNE is a Scandinavian-born integrated production company with offices in Los Angeles, Stockholm, London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam.
